Abstract
Description
- Reference is made to commonly-assigned copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. ______ (Attorney Docket No. 96373/NAB), filed herewith, entitled MAGNETIC AIR HOSE CONNECTOR, by Arnon Bernshtein; the disclosure of which is incorporated herein.
- This invention relates to a laser imaging device and more specifically to connecting an air source to the imaging device for facilitating mounting of media to the imaging device.
- In many types of printing, particularly flexographic printing, offset printing and screen printing, there is an advantage in using seamless sleeves as printing elements instead of plates wrapped around printing cylinders. Seamless sleeves allow printing of continuous patterns. The use of seamless sleeves allows printing presses to operate in a smoother manner. Before a sleeve can be mounted on a printing press it has to be imaged and processed, although some materials are available today which do not require processing. The
printing sleeves 116 are imaged onlaser imaging device 100 as is shown inFIG. 1 . - Such machines have a
mandrel 104 on which aprinting sleeve 116 is mounted directly. Alternatively several shells 108 (or mandrel adaptors) of different diameters may be provided that can be mounted on themandrel 104 to accommodate a variety ofdifferent printing sleeves 116. Alaser imaging head 120 is adapted to travel along the longitudinal axis of theprinting sleeve 116 onimaging head tracks 124, controlled bylead screw 128. -
Printing sleeve 116 is loaded over themandrel adaptor 108. Theprinting sleeve 116 may be a thin-walled metal or composite cylindrical tube with media applied to the outer surface. Themandrel adaptor 108 may be provided with a number ofair holes 112 in its surface through which air can be forced. This air flow creates an air bearing overmandrel adaptor 108 and permitsprinting sleeve 116 to be floated on a cushion of air onto themandrel adapter 108, the air expandingprinting sleeve 116 to enable easy loading and positioning. The air is supplied byair source 140 throughair hose 136.Air hose 136 is fixed toair supply 140 on one side and to air inlet 132 on mandrel adapter 108 (or to mandrel 104), on the other side of theair hose 136. When the supply of forced air is discontinued,printing sleeve 116 contracts to form an tight fit withmandrel adaptor 108. - Replaceable mandrels or mandrel adaptors can be used. Air pressure is automatically connected to the inside of the mandrel to slide sleeves on and off. As the whole operation can be pneumatically or hydraulically activated, the machine operator only needs to slide the sleeves on and off.
- Fixing
air hose 136 to air inlet 132 onmandrel adaptor 108 and disconnecting theair hose 136 from inlet 132, requires some effort and may cause problems during normal operation ofimaging device 100. A solution to prevent such problems is necessary. - Briefly, according to one aspect of the present invention, a magnetic air connector includes an air inlet configured to connect to an air source, a magnet with a hollow area to enable air flow through it, and a hollow pin inserted into the hollow area of the magnet. In addition it includes an attach element configured to attach to an air consumer from a one side and the magnet from the other side.
- These and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon a reading of the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the drawings wherein there is shown and described an illustrative embodiment of the invention.
-
FIG. 1 is a schematic showing a prior art laser processing system with a sleeve mounted on a mandrel adaptor using air supply; -
FIG. 2A is an illustration of a magnetic air connector as is described in the present invention; -
FIG. 2B is a schematic view of the elements comprising the magnetic air connector; -
FIG. 2C is a cross-section view of a magnetic air connector; -
FIG. 2D is an illustration of a magnetic air connector attached to a mandrel adaptor; -
FIG. 3A is a schematic view of the elements comprising the magnetic air connector including a valve; -
FIG. 3B is a cross-section view of a magnetic air connector with a valve in a closed position (disconnected); -
FIG. 3C is a cross-section view of a magnetic air connector with a valve in an open position (connected); and -
FIG. 4 is a schematic of a laser processing system with a sleeve mounted on a mandrel adaptor using air supply, with an integrated magnetic air connector. - In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the disclosure. However, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the teachings of the present disclosure may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known methods, procedures, components and circuits have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the teachings of the present disclosure.

FIGS. 2A , 2B, 2C, and 2D show in detail the structure of amagnetic air connector 200.Magnetic air connector 200 is adapted to effectively facilitate air flow fromair source 140 indirection 232 to air consumer such asmandrel adaptor 108, having the air enter intomandrel adaptor 108 inair flow direction 236. -
Magnetic air connector 200 contain two main parts,main body 208 and anattach element 204.Attach element 204 is permanently attached to the air consumer such asmandrel adaptor 108. Theattach element 204 is composed from two main elements, ahollow screw 240 adapted tofix attach element 204 tomandrel adaptor 108 and from aflat metal member 244. Themetal member 244 is configured to attach to a magnetic element to firmly connect tomain body 208, and to enable air flow thought a hole in the center ofmetal member 244 viahollow screw 240 intomandrel adaptor 108. -
Air hose 136 can be attached tomain body 208 via ahose adaptor 224.Magnet 220 is installed into magnetic air adaptormain body 208 and is secured to it.Magnet 220 is constructed with ahollow area 213 it its center, to enable the insertion ofhollow pin 212. The diameter ofhollow pin 212 in some embodiments may be substantially smaller than the diameter ofmagnet 220, thus creating a relatively small surface area for air injection supplied fromair source 140 viaair hose 136. Thesurface area 215 ofmagnet 220 therefore remains large, thus enabling a firm connection between the two parts (main body 208 and attach element 204) of themagnetic air connector 200. - In operation pressured air flows via
air hose 136 through hollow pin 212 (inside main body 208), progressing through the hole in the center ofmetal member 244 and thehollow screw 240 which is connected to it, directly into an air consumer such asmandrel adaptor 108. Themagnetic air connector 200 enables fast release or attach ofair source 140 to or frommandrel adaptor 108, without the need to screwair source 140 to air consumer such as amandrel 104 ormandrel adaptor 108. The release or attach is achieved by connecting or disconnecting magnet 220 (part of main body 208) to or from attachelement 204. - In another embodiment of the present invention shown in
FIGS. 3A , 3B, and 3C anair valve 304 is integrated into themagnetic air connector 200. Theair valve 304 is inserted intomain body 208.Air valve 304 is secured on one side ofmain body 208 by asecurity screw 312, aspring 308 is placed betweenscrew 312 andvalve 304. On theother side valve 304 is inserted intomagnet 220 and secured byring 316. In operation, when connected to airsource 140 attachelement 204 pressesvalve 304 againstspring 308, thusair valve 304 is opened 324, and enables air to flow fromair source 140 to air consumer (shown inFIG. 3C ). Disconnection ofmagnet 220 from attachelement 204 will causevalve 304 to close 320 (pushed back by spring 308), thus shutting off air flow fromair source 140. -
FIG. 4 shows amagnetic air adapter 200 integrated intoimaging device 100. Themagnetic air connector 200 is attached tomandrel adaptor 108 as is shown inFIG. 4 , but it should be appreciated that in a different configuration themagnetic air connector 200 can be attached directly tomandrel 104. - The invention has been described in detail with particular reference to certain preferred embodiments thereof, but it will be understood that variations and modifications can be effected within the scope of the invention
